Dreamy Post-Punk from Hideous Towns

Leave a comment

hideoustownsBeen hearing lots of good things coming from Hideous Towns and their Aussie camp, so I’m happy to share their latest single with you today. It’s a subdued bit of post-punk, focusing on the genres brooding melody as opposed to the angular frustration. For me, that allows a little bit more focus on the blasts that come from singer Alana West, such as “I need var-i-ety/inexplicable.” Listening in, you’re either going to focus on West or on the dreamy guitar lines swirling around, and thus you’ll come back to give your attention to the other side. In the end, you’ll walk away anticipating Disquiet Living, which comes out via Lost and Lonesome on December 2nd.

Wayward Pop from Hideous Town

hideoustownsAnother day, another great Aussie band…this time it’s Hideous Towns. The band is prepping their debut album, but in the meantime they’ve tossed up a couple of tracks to lead you into their sound. It’s a drifting feeling, filled with reverb, yet filled with a wonderful pop sensibility. I get this dark feeling of longing, but one of those where you’re happily dreaming of somewhere peaceful. It’s almost Friday, and I wish I was there already, so I wanted to offer up this track first today, get you looking forward to what’s next. This track is availableon a 7″ from Lost and Lonesome.
